For the bug hunting spot, I don’t really have the time to draw each bug sprite by hand — so I’m thinking of making them actual ‘bugs’ instead, like this. It’s a bit tricky to control, but kind of fun, don’t you think?

Floyd–Steinberg, being an algorithm that propagates error, is ill-suited for GPUs. So instead, I limited the number of pixels processed per draw and only displayed the already-processed, stable ones. It actually resulted in a pretty interesting effect.

I'm still working on implementing the save/load state system. Last time the fonts were broken, and now it's the event system that's falling apart
